Marseille wird Kulturhauptstadt 2013
Copyright: Marseille 2013
The cosmopolitan port town of Marseille has ended up head and shoulders above its other French competitors, Lyon, Bordeaux and Toulouse and will join the Slovakian city of Kosice as European Capital of Culture in 2013.
Close relations between Linz09 and the budding team of Marseille 2013 have already been established. A delegation from France paid Linz a visit in June 2008 and found the Linzer “Schaurausch”, an exhibition in the public space, most inspirational. The concept is now to be realized in Marseille as well. Linz09 has also invited the French team to take part in the LinzFest09 and in YES09. Congratulations from Linz09! We’re looking forward to further cooperation.
